Ross Porter is a name many younger Dodgers fans do not know, but for those of us who still vividly remember the days before the McCourt era his name should still ring blissfully in your ear. For 28 years, from 1977 to 2004, he was the Dodgers play-by-play announcer. He sat alongside Vin Scully in the broadcast booth, and even hosted both pre- and post-game "Dodger Talk" broadcasts for fourteen years. Then, unceremoniously, he was fired by the club, and to this day still doesn't know who or why he was fired. Heck, no one in the organization (which was in the first year of the McCourt ownership) even contacted him directly about it.
